In post-apocalyptic Los Angeles, two highly intelligent teenagers are working for opposing sides. Rebel, Day was to have been killed when he supposedly failed his trials, but lives on the streets with, helping his family survive, as well as thumbing his nose at the Republic, by wreaking havoc. He is the Republic’s Most Wanted Criminal, Not because his crimes are heinous, but because they make the Republic look bad.

On the other side is child prodigy June, assigned the task of hunting down Day, because he supposedly killed June’s brother Metias.

This is a fast-paced action book, with a romance that is at turns cute and then annoying.

I disliked the number of torture/terrorizing scenes and thus will NOT read the 2 sequels..
